Balaks (Balâk, pl. Balâğaş) are a Vaniuan ethnic group that originally formed in the Kashis River basin.
Language
Balak is a member of the Vaniuan family from the Kashisan sub-group of Eastern Vaniuan languages, spoken in present-day Balakia and surrounding nations. The language itself is distinguished by its moderately agglutinative typology and large substratum of Khamaian loanwords, along with whistled sibilants, a feature not present in any other Vaniuan language and shared only with Amaian.
Balak is the official language of Balakia. It is also spoken on reduced pockets around the surrounding countries of Balakia and the southern territories.
